I’ve done minor changes to the installaion guide for MogileFS following feedback from Craig.
In addition, he noticed that on some Xen VMs, you may encounter the following error:
ERROR: Need to be root to increase max connections
in which case, you will need to update /etc/security/limits.conf with the values:
mogile soft nofile 65535
mogile hard nofile 65535

This map is a powerful mind stimulator, kudos to Mark Ovenden.
Londoners will obviously recognize that the network diagramme is based on the London underground tube map:
the topology is almost intact and you can easily identify the central line and the circle and the others where there are supposed to be
It’s also made twice nicer as: Transport For London guards jealously the copyrights on their data (making tube map/status based creations rare and dangerous) and this one is available with a Creative Commons licence!
